The film “Daku Maharaj” was released as a Sankranthi gift in the combination of actor Nandamuri Balayya and director Bobby. Meanwhile, the film was released in theaters today amidst huge expectations. Let’s go into the review and discuss how this film is.

Story:

The people of the Chambal hill desert region are facing many difficulties due to lack of drinking water and irrigation water. On the other hand, Bhalawant Singh Tagore (Bobby Deol) and his men are making the people of the region work even harder for water. In the wake of some dramatic developments in this sequence, the people of the Chambal region meet Sitaram, who is an engineer, thinking that he can solve their problems. So what did Sitaram do to bring water to the area after hearing about their problems? What were the circumstances Sitaram faced for that? How did Sitaram become Daku Maharaj? What did Daku Maharaj finally achieve? The rest of the story.

High marks:

Nandamuri Balayya has acted wonderfully in his roles as Sitaram and Daku Maharaj in the movie. Balayya's performance in key action scenes is the main highlight of the entire movie. The kind of kick that Balakrishna's fans want from him, this film also went with huge visuals and 'wild action and emotional elements'. There is no doubt that Balayya mesmerized the audience with his powerful performance, showing different variations in his role (with pace looking) to match them.

Bobby Deol, who made his direct introduction to the Telugu screen with 'Daku Maharaj', did justice to his role. His performance in some key scenes was very good. Shraddha Srinath lived in her role. Heroine Pragya Jaiswal also acted very well opposite Balayya. Her screen presence was also very good. Chandini Chowdhury and Urvashi Rautela, who appeared in other key roles, impressed with their roles. And Shine Tom Chacko and the rest of the actors also impressed with their performances in their respective roles.

The way director Bobby has shown Balayya in a new way in line with the commercial movie is good. Especially in the film, the action elements and strong emotions, as well as the comedy touch, in line with the story, are a plus for the film. Especially the action scenes on Balayya have been designed effectively. Similarly, along with the portrayal of the characters, those characters have been designed perfectly.

Low marks:

This ‘high action emotional entertainer’ ‘Daku Maharaj’, which came with strong emotions and huge visuals, has impressed a lot. Some scenes in terms of the story do not impress fully as they are not up to the standard of the film. It would have been better if Balayya’s background had been highlighted more in the story. It would have been better if the track between Balayya and the villains had been better. Overall, director Bobby, who showed good performance in key scenes along with the main points he wanted to tell in the story, appeared a bit slow in some of the remaining scenes.

Technical Section:

Talking about the technical section of this film. The way cinematographer Vijay Karthik Kannan worked hard for the cinematography work is amazing. The key scenes and action scenes in the film have been shot very well in accordance with the storyline. The editing by Niranjan Devaramane is also very good. The songs composed by music director S.S. Thaman have impressed the audience. Their pictorialization is also good. The background music is also impressive. Bobby has shot this film very well as a writer and director. He has made the film interesting with a good story and strong diverse characters. Producers Suryadevara Nagavanshi and Sai Soujanya have produced this film without compromising anywhere. Their production values ​​are also amazing.

Opinion:

As a mass action and emotional drama that came as a Sankranthi gift, ‘Daku Maharaj’. Along with the wild action sequences, the good emotions are also very good. Especially Balayya's powerful performance, Bobby's direction, and the good work from the entire technical department. The entire movie is a special attraction. But, some scenes are routine. However, Balayya has taken this movie to another level with his performance and his mass image. Overall, this movie will impress not only Balayya fans but also all other sections of the audience.
